T is 3.5 months and he doesn't seem anywhere near ready yet. Will ask at is 4 month visit in a few wks. I did let him taste strawberry juices and he seemed surprised and like he liked it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-279695 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:10:03 +0000 GrapeCrush 279695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at LO 2 month appointment the doc told us we'd talk about food at his 4 month appointment. so 8 more days and we'll see. i hope they give us the go ahead...DS seems to be so bored with formula </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-279413 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 20:54:40 +0000 LivsMama 279413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried puréed at 6 months but she wasn't a fan. So at 6.5 months we tried again and she still didn't like it, so we tried baby led weaning (skipped purees) the next day and she took right to it. So 6.5 months for us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-279393 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 20:18:57 +0000 MsMini 279393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doctor said we could start anytime between 4-6 months, whenever I feel like he is ready. He is 4 months 1 week and definitely not ready yet IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-279390 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 20:11:47 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 279390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Dr said to wait until 6 months, which is what we wanted to do anyway. Really, they are just fine on milk, even past 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-279388 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 20:09:28 +0000 lemondrop 279388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the ok at our 4 month appointment, but didn't get around to it until 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-279379 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 19:43:09 +0000 MamaBehr 279379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first LO, we got the go ahead at four months. I was so excited to start the next step with her, we started right away. However, with my second LO, I did more research. I got the go ahead from the doc, but waited until five months. He got a little constipated, and we quit until he was much closer to six months. At his six month visit, the doc said I needed to feed him more! She said he should be getting at least two meals a day, so eventually he isn't getting so much liquid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-279161 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 11:15:00 +0000 tequiero21 279161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will start at 6 mos since that's what doc told us to do! Will probably start w cereal, even tho I heard it has no nutritional value.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-277593 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 06:31:58 +0000 mynoahbear 277593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months 1 week with cereal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-277575 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 05:22:32 +0000 Rosie Girl 277575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-276779 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:34:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 276779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months. I tried to wait until six, but he wanted it sooo badly. Once I gave him a taste of food, he was hooked! At 6 months he already eats SO MUCH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-276762 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:30:40 +0000 chopsuey 276762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ped said we could give LO cereal at 4 months, but she hated it. Waited until she was around 5 months and gave her sweet potatoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-276757 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:29:01 +0000 heffalump 276757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The doctor said to wait till 6 months so I did. Figured why rush! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-276753 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:27:07 +0000 Rubies 276753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started giving LO a taste of banana here, or a bit of applesauce there when LO was 5.5 months. I kept it to a minimum until LO's 6-months appointment. Then when we got the OK, I went full force. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-lo-on-solids#post-276737 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:23:17 +0000 regberadaisy 276737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wondering when everyone started their LO on solids. Did you get your ped's OK first? </p>
